How To Get Into Online Blackjack
  admin        May 30, 2016

Blackjack cardsAh, blackjack, the most popular and most profitable casino game of all time! Despite the fact that it is, objectively speaking, the only game currently played in casinos which can be beaten, the people who run said casinos have still not removed it from their venues despite losing millions every year to savvy players and card counters! Why? Because the game is so popular that they’d actually lose a whole lot more money if they removed the game than they would if they kept it and sucked up the lost! Indeed, while everyone wants to be like those guys from “21”, in real life counting cards and remaining unnoticed while also earning sums big enough to justify your effort is surprisingly difficult.

But what about the online space? With the sudden rise in popularity of the online casino business in the early to mid-2000s, more and more people are turning towards them in order to scratch that gambling itch without having to go through the trouble of actually going to a casino, which is understandable. Not everyone has the opportunity (when it comes to time, money or energy) to go to the casino regularly, so online gambling is the next best thing. I’ve noticed, however, that a whole lot of people don’t actually know how to get into it – they feel intimidated by the various online casinos, by their complicated layouts and numerous sign-up requirements. According to statistics, a huge number of people quit before making a single deposit, and that’s a damn shame.

The first thing you have to remember is that you don’t have to do this alone. There’s plenty of places where you can get help, for example on sites like realmoneyonlineblackjack.co.uk. There you can find advice on pretty much anything you’re struggling with, from the various types of blackjack games typically available in online casinos to stuff like where to find the best mobile casinos. As such, getting into online blackjack tends to be a whole lot easier, by and large, than getting into slots or roulette – there’s just so many guides to point you in the right way, and not too many bad options, in any case. Of course, it goes without saying that the first and most important step should be finding a proper casino where you can play. This example is one of my favourites, but as I said earlier, there’s really not too much of a chance to get it wrong especially if you follow a guide.

Look, I get it – entering the world of online blackjack requires some investment, which means that it also takes a certain amount of risk. But considering the fact that most online casinos really offer very similar versions of blackjack (unlike slots, where the selection varies wildly from casino to casino), you have little reason to be anxious. Just take a deep breath and dive right in – as long as you’re following a proper guide, you should be fine!

PayPal To No Longer Offer Protection For Casino-Related Transaction
  admin        May 13, 2016

playing cardsA whooooole lot of people I know who gamble use PayPal in order to deal with their transactions. And why wouldn’t they? PayPal is fast, secure, easy to use and incredibly convenient, especially when it comes to casino-related money back and forth. The overwhelming majority of online casinos in the world support PayPal, meaning that even without linking as much as a credit card you can withdraw winnings online and use the money to purchase stuff or to have them directly deposited into your bank account without the casino knowing a number of it, which is great if you’ve got any kind of security concerns (I know I want as few strangers on the Internet knowing my bank account number as possible, the only exception being a certain Nigerian prince who promised to store some of his fortune there). And the best part is that PayPal offers protection for your investment. Say, you decide to deposit a tenner into your online casino of choice, and then suddenly you realize that your account is still empty, and the casino is being very uncooperative despite the fact that they still billed you. Have no fear, PayPal will refund you! … Or at least they would have.

Change is coming to the platform, folks, and none of it’s good. According to recent amendments to PayPal’s policies, the company will no longer offer protection on several services. Some are understandable, such as donations done to projects listed on crowdfunding sites like “Kickstarter”. That makes sense – with so many projects failing to deliver, PayPal would go bankrupt if they refunded each one forever. Others are just plain weird, like payments done to government organizations. I’m not entirely sure I understand this one, but it doesn’t really matter. The worst part for us gamblers is that PayPal will no longer offer protection for payments done on sites dealing with “gambling, gaming and/or any other activity with an entry fee and a prize”, which… Sucks. It’s not hard to understand why they had to do it – I’m guessing that plenty of sore losers decided to try and take their money back after not enjoying a casino experience. But it’s pretty dumb that the rest of us honest gamblers need to suffer because of it as well.

It’s important to note that the changes aren’t worldwide – they’re only applicable to several countries, such as the US, Canada and Brazil (where they’ll take effect on June 25th), but it’s not hard to imagine that pretty soon the rest of the world will follow, especially when it comes to countries where gambling is a big thing. In my estimation, by the end of the year Germany, Spain, the UK and other big EU markets will also have one less reason to recommend PayPal, but that’s just me, so don’t quote me on it. Here’s hoping for the best!
